The next morning, Zhang Manting, who was in a daze, got up from the floor. Her eyes were blue, her face swollen, her hair a mess, her clothes rumpled like a poor beggar's.

Xu Xiao is gone, she's really gone. Let's go. Even if all of you are gone, my life will continue … Zhang Manting smiled bitterly. That's right, this isn't the first time. Zhang Manting, you should get used to it. Every single relationship is destined to end in vain. This is your life!

"Drip, drip, drip …" The cellphone beneath her feet suddenly let out a burst of crisp beeps. Zhang Manting bent down and picked up the phone. She looked at the screen and was completely stunned: it was a text message, from Xu Xiao's cell phone number.

The message was very simple. It was only three or five sentences long, but every word was extremely tiring for Zhang Manting. Manting, let's break up. I'm leaving, don't look for me again. Wish you to find a man who loves you.

"Clank ~ ~ ~" The phone fell to the ground and made an empty sound. Zhang Manting's eyes were wide open and her teeth were grinding. Her eyes were dry and dry. There were no more tears. It was as if the merciless message had sprinkled a large amount of salt on her bloody wound, and it hurt her to the core.

The first ray of sunlight shone through the window. That warm ray of light fell on Zhang Manting's pale face, but her heart was ice-cold and numb.

"Why? Why did you all suddenly leave me? "Why …" Zhang Manting absent-mindedly muttered to herself, "Why, why …"

Her facial features suddenly contorted as intense hatred burst out from her eyes. "Why? Why? Why did you do this to me? Why did you leave, why? A bunch of bastards, liars! "

Zhang Manting continued to shout loudly, wantonly venting the anger and despair in her heart. After a long while, she was tired. Her body once again went limp, collapsing onto the ice-cold ground. She once again fell into a deep slumber …

During the entire day, Zhang Manting slept soundly. During this time, she woke up a few times. She half-closed her eyes, dragged her tired and numb body to the toilet, and drank some water. She did not eat. At around seven in the evening, she was awoken by waves of unbearable hunger.

The lights in the city were already on. She walked to the bathroom and saw a haggard face in the mirror.

Zhang Manting, look at you, for a man who doesn't love you anymore and who dares to abandon you, what have you done to yourself? Enough, don't do this again! They're not worth your tears.

She clenched her fists tightly. Yes, don't give up.

Ten minutes later, the refreshing Zhang Manting walked out of the district's gate. Her face was slightly pale, and her eyelids were swollen. However, a few strands of light had once appeared in her lifeless pupils. She took a bath and changed into a light dress.

A tempting fragrance continuously wafted out from the snack bar on the street. Zhang Manting deeply sniffed and quickened her steps until she arrived at the entrance of the snack bar. She was so hungry that the movement of her feet was a bit urgent. Her large eyes were also fixed on the various snacks in the pantry.

"Bang!" A muffled sound was followed by a low cry of surprise. "Ya ~ ~ ~" It was a very pleasant male voice. Zhang Manting rubbed her forehead that was hurting from the collision. She looked at the man that was hit in front of her with a bit of confusion in her eyes. The man was also looking at her.

It was a handsome man in his late twenties or early twenties. He was tall and had a slight blush on his chin where Zhang Manting's forehead had hit. Lying at his feet were several lunchboxes, steamed buns, flower rolls, and other snacks scattered all over the floor.

Why did this face look so familiar? Zhang Manting narrowed her eyes in confusion.

"Miss, are you alright?" That pleasant voice rang out once more. Zhang Manting's face turned red. She then took a step back and said, "I'm sorry, I'll compensate you with these snacks."

"It doesn't matter." The man's voice was getting gentler. He looked at Zhang Manting with an inexplicable heat in his eyes. This heat caused Zhang Manting to feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.

That's right! Zhang Manting suddenly covered her mouth in shock. She remembered: the man in front of her was the man that Xu Xiao had followed before he disappeared! Heavens, this was too much of a coincidence. It was only for dinner, how could they have bumped into this person for no reason.

"You, you —" Zhang Manting pointed her index finger at the man in front of her. At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through her mind. She wanted to ask the person in front of her: Do you know Xu Xiao? What the hell is going on between you and him? Why is he following you? Do you know where he is now?

A string of questions lingered in Zhang Manting's throat. Just as she was about to blurt it out, she was suppressed by her rationality.

"Miss, Miss, are you alright?" The man stretched out his palm and waved it in front of Zhang Manting's eyes.

Ah? He was actually pointing his index finger at someone else. This was a very rude act! Zhang Manting quickly retracted her finger, and her tone became even more ashamed. "Sorry, I will compensate you with whatever snacks you bought."

"Alright." This time, the man did not refuse, "Miss, you also came here to eat, right? "Why don't we just meet by chance? Why don't we have a meal together?"

The man's eyes were shining, and Zhang Manting had no reason to object. Strange, why would this man take the initiative to invite him? And his gaze, why was it so hot … Forget it, let's just treat it as an apology. Zhang Manting forced a smile and made a gesture of 'please'.

This meal, this couple who were originally strangers each had their own ulterior motives, neither of them had their eyes on the meal itself. The man's name was Langmu. He had a cheerful and open-minded personality. His voice was gentle and his tone contained no lack of humor or humor. Although Zhang Manting had deep doubts about him in her heart, she couldn't help but be attracted by the many bright spots in his personality. After a short while, the two of them got to know each other. They chatted merrily at the table like two good friends.

After the meal, the two exchanged their contact information, and Eunuch Langmu sent Zhang Manting home. Standing at the door of the apartment, Langmu watched Zhang Manting's figure disappear around the corner of the stairs. He was frozen in place, a mysterious, determined smile on his face.

Langmu, Langmu... Lying on the bed, Zhang Manting continued to chew on the name. At this moment, her face had an appreciative smile that she did not even notice: this person, handsome, mature, steady, but not lacking in humor. He was very gentle and meticulous with people — Wait, stop it! Zhang Manting, what are you thinking about?

Zhang Manting's expression suddenly changed, and she jumped up from the bed. There was no doubt that Langmu was the type that he liked. His personality was almost exactly the same as his previous four boyfriends! It was obvious that he had some interest in her. Heavens, was history going to repeat itself again? I will once again fall in love, after two years of love cycle, my boyfriend will unexpectedly tell me to break up, to leave my world!

No... Zhang Manting subconsciously shook her head. "No, that would be too scary, too scary!" If that was the case, then he might as well not fall in love for the rest of his life. That way, at least he wouldn't be sad or unable to control himself from crying for those men. Besides, Langmu was the man Xu Xiao was following before he disappeared. There must be some mysterious conflict between the two of them! Just one day after Xu Xiaoxiao had disappeared, he had bumped into Langmu. Was this an astonishing coincidence, or a dark conspiracy?

Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Zhang Manting extended her hand and slapped her face. Then, she resolutely said, "Zhang Manting, wake up! You can't touch this man! Love is something you cannot touch! "
